I am about to get my second replacement set at 75k miles and my friend is about to get his third set of replacements at 100k. Because they put undersize tires on it to increase mileage, but the weight is high for the size of the car because of the battery packs. We rented a 2012 Altima a few year ago to go in to NYC for the day. Ran 75mph all the way out and back, stop and go in the city, then ran up to Watkins Glen for the vintage races on Sunday. 34mpg for the weekend, comfort in spades, loads of room, good handling. And an Altima will run 250k miles without real issues. My wife's Altima averaged 38MPG. And if I didn't measure it myself, I'd have not believed it. Dave

Dave I believe the Altima is the one's my folks got that does better than 40.

Drive a Prius and see how you like it. Then go drive a VW Jetta TDi. If you can tell the difference and want a car that's fun to drive, buy the VW.
You couldn't GIVE me one of those hunks of fugking schit. Dave Ever get that offer pass it on please. Friends have one, have driven it. Would own one for the right price in a heartbeat.

"Drive a Prius like you stole it"
I don't laugh much, but that one got to me. How fast and how far do you plan to get before the race is over???

Get a Skoda Octavia Wagon TDI. Get the 4x4 version of it. Great Car to Drive, awesome mileage. Getting around 45mpg in it.
Oh wait, they don't make it in the US.
I had a VW Jetta TDI. 2006. Used it as a daily driver. Left my boat and truck at the company I worked for and drove that back and forth. Great Power and Diesels run like a top. Averaged around 42mpg in that but that was at 70mph.
If I had a choice I would get a Tesla. But they are also 100K.
